Noticed mine is a little wobbly so figured I would replace. Any input on which one I should use? I notice there seems to be a plethra of choices.
Thanks!!

Get the same one you have now unless the motor is all dressed up, then get a fancy one. [img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_tup.gif[/img]

I guess my engine is a little dressed up. So doesn't really matter which one to use? I noticed there are some called fluid damper or somethign like that. Also a lot of nice ones available on E bay fairly cheaply.
Thanks.

I've never used the fluid type because I haven't had the need (that I'm aware of).

When I first replied to the post your pic was just a red X but I see that beauty now!

289, 302, and 351W all take 28oz. Later model 302/5.0 were 50oz imbalance, while I believe the 351W stayed 28oz throughout production. Someone else will probably know when teh 302 changed to 50oz, probably some time in the early '80s.
